what are the dimensions of your kitchen and island

I'm waiting to hear back on that. Not sure about the glass. Editing OP with door models

Just got word that my building supplier ordered the wrong door, same style just thinner. The one they ordered will be R13 and what I wanted is R18. I'll be living in this building so the garage will be heated all the time, ~60f or so. Would that ever make a difference? My wall insulation(18ft...

Which means nothing given his machinery weight isn't that much. That said I'd def put rebar on 12-16" centers vs 24".

All very valid points but man I'd hate to always go out and around when changing floors. :p I'm planning something very similar to yours and really like how you've got it laid out. I'll be either 16x48 or 20x48.

Protip: before ever going to the field add a 24" extension straight out from your antenna mount so that it's directly above the shear tip. It's absolutely ridiculous that they don't do this from the factory. The difference in grading will be night and day. Don't know anything about Intellislope...

Are you buying a plow to put tile in? What's your soil like, have much trouble with rocks? Interested to hear how you like the crary cart. We're going to add another one sometime and pretty much decided on a liebrecht.

What size are the three big doors on the one side? 12x14?

What's the reasoning for dumping a bunch of rock in the tile holes vs fixing the tile?

I guess you don't understand how horrific asbestos is.

I'm hopeful to be building something very similar next summer, 48x64x16. Is it just you and your wife? Any reason for not making the living quarters bigger? I'm planning on 48x24 just for myself. After seeing yours I'm starting to think maybe that's a little big!

Duker I’m curious how spray foam will work since your studs are off from your wall 4”? Are you spraying the whole thing, making this a non issue?
